Developing an understanding of the response of soil organic carbon (SOC) to N deposition is critical to quantify and predict the terrestrial carbon uptake under increasing N deposition in the future. However, results from field studies on the response of SOC content and composition to N depo...

　　Eutrophication caused by high concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus in water has become a global environmental problem. At present, exotic and even invasive plants have been used extensively in phytoremediation water systems in China, such as Eichhornia crassipes, Pistia stratiotes and My...

　　A recent research paper published in Soil biology and Biochemistry entitled "Translocating subtropical forest soils to a warmer region alters microbial communities and increases the decomposition of mineral-associated organic carbon" described a significant loss in soil carbon under warming ...

　　Researchers have disclosed that the photosynthetic capacity of leaves can be improved by the addition of nitrogen, according to a recent research article published in the journal Global Change Biology.
　　Atmospheric nitrogen deposition is a crucial factor influencing the structure and func...
